 Description   

It would be good to mention that one can use symlinks to link to other directories from the magnolia.resources.dir where the light modules are.

This question comes up naturally because it is a common scenario that I may have one module that I want to use on multiple projects. A developer or company may have a library of modules that they reuse on different projects. So it would be convenient to just create symlinks from the light modules directory to that module.

And we have specifically recieved this question a few times at conference or via forums.

Maybe on this include https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/_What+is+magnolia.resources.dir

Note: I have confirmed that symlinks work on windows Vista and greater.
